I love the look of flint corn, aka calico corn, aka indian corn (not a great name). I keep a bundle of three cobs up all fall, I nestle mini cobs in a bowl with pine cones, dried oranges and pomegranates, and cinnamon stick. I even tried my hand at beading a tiny one. So of course I inevitably wanted a neckace.
Rather than soaking the kernels until I could pierce them with a needle (something I heard was hard on the fingers), I drilled each one -- tedious but effective.
The resulting strand (minus some I turned into a stretchy bracelet for my youngest, and the ones that broke) is quite long, long enough to wrap three times around my neck. I'm contemplating interspersing copper charms throughout the strand.
